UPDATE: GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED I’m not exactly a style maven. I pretty much wear jeans and a shirt. Very often that shirt is a t-shirt. I’m all about comfy clothes. If they are also cute and stylish, well that is a bonus. If you’re like me, or you actually ARE a style maven, you’re going […]
I got a Kindle for Christmas! If I didn’t have three kids that use up all of my time and most of my energy, I would be a voracious reader. As it stands, I am still a fairly prolific reader. The Kindle was a perfect gift! Now I just needed something to keep it in! […]
FYI- Today’s my birthday! Just in case you wanted to know. It’s also the last day of school! So, we will be celebrating with a School’s Out!/Birthday dinner out tonight. Anyway, I’m finally getting around to showing you what I made my mom for Mother’s Day. Even though I made it for a present, this […]
Don’t forget to enter the Very Jane giveaway for a lovely coral bubble necklace! Click here or scroll down to enter! Wow- August went fast, didn’t it? Well, I wanted to end the month with a cute baby gift idea. It seems like everyone around me is pregnant or just had babies. I had a […]
Welcome to Scrappin’ Wednesday! I’m so happy to share my layouts with you each week. If nothing else, it’s helping me catch up on my pictures, and I have a lot of fun doing it. This week, I put together a sweet circle layout for my baby’s 9 month photos. I let the orange of […]
When I went to SNAP earlier this month, one of the things I picked up was this cute little frame from Cut It Out Frames. I’ve long been a fan of their beautiful frames and knew just what I wanted to do with it. My daughter just turned ten, and now suddenly she is questioning […]
No, I’m not referring to that website everyone used before Facebook, I am talking about my very own craft space! I never thought there would be a day where my craft space wasn’t shared. Now that I have a room solely for crafting I get to decide how to make it the most workable for […]
Thanks for being patient, if you visited my blog over the weekend. I wanted something a little more elegant, something a little less cluttered, something simple and beautiful. I still have some more things I’d like to do, like add a tutorial page and some social media buttons, but for now, I like how it’s […]
We’re getting down to the wire here, Christmas is one week away! As I was putting together different neighbor gifts and teacher gifts, I needed something to not only let them know who the gift was from, but to add that last little holiday touch: gift tags! You can make these easy and fun gift […]
I may have mentioned once or twice that I’m not that great at sewing. I took Sewing 101 in high school, but it’s been a LONG TIME since I learned all those skills. I’ve been wanting to make/recover some throw pillows for my bed. And I really wanted to try an envelope back, rather than […]
Time for another Sister’s Challenge! This time the theme was Red and White, perfect for Christmas. Did you see Valerie’s Reindeer Sled yesterday? It’s so cute!! Now it’s my turn! Some of you may not know that I love knitting! I’m not an avid yarn girl who produces tons and tons of projects, but I’ve […]
I have this problem. I have a major sweet tooth. Major. I have another problem. My husband is the bishop of our church– and that means that during the holidays, dozens of members of our congregation drop of plates and bags of goodies. We get fudge, brownies, cookies, pies, candy, and more. I am almost […]

Today is my sweet baby’s first birthday! This is a great occasion to be a little crafty for someone else- so, I took a deep breath and braved my FIRST EVER FONDANT CAKE! I used the Make-a-Cake Series tutorials from Make It and Love It to create this cake, and I must say, these tutorials […]
